    The Influence of Austrian Voting Right of 1907 on the First Electoral Law of the Successor States (Poland, Romania [Bukovina], Czechoslovakia)

    ISSN 2411-9563 (Print) European Journal of Social Sciences May-August 2014 ISSN 2312-8429 (Online) Education and Research Volume 1, Issue 1 The influence of Austrian voting right of 1907 on the first electoral law of the successor states (Poland, Romania [Bukovina], Czechoslovakia) Dr Andrzej Dubicki Uniwersytet Łódzki Abstract As a result of collapse of the Central Powers in 1918 in Central Europe have emerged new national states e.g. Poland, Czechoslowakia, Hungaria, SHS Kingdom some of states that have existed before the Great War have changed their boundaries e.g. Romania, Bulgaria. But what is most important newly created states have a need to create their constituencies, so they needed a electoral law. There is a question in what manner they have used the solutions that have been used before the war in the elections held to the respective Parliaments (mostly to the Austrian or Hungarian parliament) and in case of Poland to the Tzarist Duma or Prussian and German Parliament. In the paper author will try to compare Electoral Laws that were used in Poland Czechoslowakia, and Romania [Bukowina]. The first object will be connected with the question in what matter the Austrian electoral law have inspired the solutions used in respective countries after the Great War. The second object will be connected with showing similarities between electoral law used in so called opening elections held mainly in 1919 in Austria-Hungary successor states. The third and final question will be connected with development of the electoral rules in respective countries and with explaining the reasons for such changes and its influence on the party system in respective country: multiparty in Czechoslovakia, hybrid in Romania.

  • What London's Intellectual Capital Means for Events

    What London's Intellectual Capital Means for Events

    WHAT LONDON’S INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL MEANS FOR EVENTS London is a world leader as a centre for business, finance and culture. It excels in economic clout, delivers as an urban gateway to Europe and the rest of the world and has notable development and design capabilities – all putting it ahead of the global urban crowd. This powerhouse of attributes also contributes to the capital’s secret weapon: its intellectual capital. The capital of cutting edge, London is a trailblazer in technology, finance, life sciences, creative industries and retail. These sectors have claimed certain areas as their own, with technology in east London, creative industries in Soho, for example, and their proximity has inspired cross-sector innovation in FinTech, AdTech, MedTech, FashionTech, EdTech and more. The city has also attracted four of the world’s top 10 law firms and the UK is Europe’s largest management consultancy market. The city gives access to a population of 8.6 million and the talent, capital and labour market of 14 million people . Companies bringing their events here will be within reach of inspirational speakers from establishments that are specialists in their field and which can be used as venues for conferences, receptions, meetings and events or knowledge exchange with peers. The networking oppor- tunities are unparalleled. Those who bring their events to London cement their reputation for being ahead of the game and give delegates the opportunity to do business with those also at the leading edge. And the city is aspirational, so attendance will be high, with many event planners seeing a 10-20% increase in delegate numbers when hosting their events in London.

    Sport As an Instrument of Social Development - the Example of London

    Journal of Physical Education and Sport ® (JPES), Vol 20 (Supplement issue 5), Art 390 pp 2875 – 2882, 2020 online ISSN: 2247 - 806X; p-ISSN: 2247 – 8051; ISSN - L = 2247 - 8051 © JPES Original Article Sport as an instrument of social development - the example of London MARIUSZ CZUPICH Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, POLAND Published online: October 30, 2020 (Accepted for publication: October 22, 2020) DOI:10.7752/jpes.2020.s5390 Abstract: In the last several years, an increase in the importance of sport in the implementation of public policy has been observed. On the one hand, it is expressed, for example, in involving children and young people in sports initiatives and clubs, improving cooperation between charities, non-profit organisations, clubs and creating more opportunities for participation in sports and recreation for adults and seniors. On the other hand, however, states, regions and cities strive to host major sports events. Apart from economic benefits, they also bring positive social effects. They are related to social inclusion, building national/local pride and increasing the level of social capital. All of the above-mentioned sports-oriented activities translate into an improvement in physical and mental health and have a positive impact on social ties, relationships, and social attitudes. The principles and mechanisms on which sport is based have an educational, upbringing, and motivating value. Therefore, sport has become a factor in social development. Social development strategies are implemented at various levels - from micro, through meso to macro. This means that, on a large scale, they involve governments, international organisations and, on a smaller scale, local communities.
